That's right People, we will be here for YOU. Let's try to make the best of this even though we know it's kind of a go home show for the Rumble, but not really yo.

I think it will be super-cool....rumor has it the set at both locations will be old school....

I'm hoping for this

A lovely several hour corporate wank fest and back patting featuring old people. Yay?

Heard on the grapevine that The Revival might be put in The Ascensions old role of being jobbers to the legends. Fuck that if that's the case.

Kane's pop here:

Raw thread 10 hours before the show goes on the air.

About on par with when WWE starts its WM pre-show.

Kane's pop on his most recent return:

I think the Pre-Show starts in 8 hrs actually -- This is for RAW memories and moments...post your favorite ones....wrestling fans so #negative all the time on the internet... #sad

I was very positive about WWE when I enjoyed their programs. Negative now that I don't. Funny how it works.

i'd like to this mixed with the 1996 setup and the other be a mix of 1998 and 2002 set.

my fav Kane return by far is when he returned to destroy the Radicals and DX. I think that's one of the loudest pops I've ever heard. I guess around 2000 would of been the time frame.

Perry Saturn w/ Mop v.s. Road Agent Dean Malenko w/ his son Roderick Strong

my fav moment ever was when Brian Pillman returned in April 97 and laid waste to Austin as he was alone in the ring. then tried to break his ankle but HBK made the save. what a time

The Nexus debut was pretty much the best thing I'd seen. I couldn't believe they were putting these new guys into such a prominent role and I genuinely couldn't wait for Raw the next week.

Of course, it took them only 2 months to fuck it up and they were dead in the water after SummerSlam....but man that initial angle was the best.

Evolution, Heath Slater vs Legends, HBK vs. Jericho 2008, Nexus, Ric Flair's Retirement Angle, and of course ,Sheriff Stone Cold

I still think Bad News Barrett got the short end of a stick (or w/e the saying is). Dude had good mic skills and good ring skills.

The build to WrestleMania 21 was pretty much perfect.

I don't think Nexus was dead after SummerSlam but they def shoulda won at SummerSlam.

Yes the Nexus and Batista Thumbs Down were incredible moments. Funny enough I think the Nexus was Barrett's peak as a wrestler. He was the most over heel in the company and then then they pretty much killed it. Then he formed the Core and the rest is history.


Here you go. that Kane return. Go to 2:05 Listen to that POP

Another moment I loved was ECW joining the invasion. When they all turned around it was just fucking awesome. I wasn't even an ECW mutant, in fact I'd barely seen any ECW - but I still went crazy.

But, again, the good moments didn't last long. Only about an hour in this case before they announced Steph as the owner and they merged WCW and ECW. Terrible.

Bring back the Model.

They should have Braun Strowman running rampant through the backstage and every time he does something out of control a Legend should be shown appearing from behind a wall shaking his head with little to no explanation. End it with Hogan and/or naked Tatanka(Jim Morrison/Wayne's World/Naked Indian gimmick)

Apparently the grocery store brawl was on SD not RAW. Oh well, it feels like a RAW segment.

Mankind's title win was boss. Just everything about it. Perfect underdog story with the villain getting his comeuppance.

As a kid, it was just total wish fulfillment. 10 year old me totally would've loved to do something badass that has the class going apeshit with my friends parading me around on their shoulders as the teacher raged. Perfect.

The Rock was such a perfect heel here.

I have a show tonight, so I won't be able to watch this live, but I wanted to drop in and wish a happy Raw 25 to all of my TPWW friends. Not DAMN iNATOR, though.

Damn, that's some good luck.

I'll be watching it when I get home still. I'm not completely off the hook.

The Festival of Friendship was an instant classic, btw.

My all time favorite Raw match.

RVD v. Eddie in that ladder match springs to mind.

Little early to start this aint it? Such a glorified troll. Could you at least change the title to "owenbrown presents 25 years of Raw rasslin"

Do they say good luck or break a leg in the comedy scene? Either way, don't bomb.

Oddly enough, comics are often too introverted to say too much of anything.

I want to watch the Pipebomb promo again.

Due to never having a payed Sky Sports subscription in the UK I've rarely watched a whole episode of Raw but I've watched stuff on catch up or highlights. My most memorable moment would be from the Invasion angle , seeing the odd guy interfere in a match from the audience got you so hyped up for wat was going to happen.

The Mankind title win on RAW where WCW leaked the spoilers of it during their broadcast is my all time favorite moment. The pop when Austin came out was INSANE
